From the bestselling author of Pandora's Box and Insatiable -- the story of two women whose lives are consumed by their rivalry for the same man.
A seductive tale of lust and revenge, The Climax charts the entangled lives of two women -- Terelle and Kai -- who have both suffered irrecoverable losses in their pursuit of Marquise, who is believed to be dead. Kai is in prison, and Terelle suffered from a mental breakdown after losing her fiancé. After two years of catatonia, Terelle is awakened by a sweet and mysterious kiss, and the voice of her lost love.

As Terelle recovers, she clings to the idea that Marquise (who is the father of her child) is still alive and out there, waiting to reunite with her. She goes into grueling rehabilitation in order to find a way back to him, all the while enduring the concern of loved ones, who think she is delusional. At the same time, Kai is jailed for a murder she didn't commit, but that doesn't stop her wanton behavior. Not a day goes by that Kai doesn't plot a wicked revenge on Terelle. Throughout steamy prison encounters, and despite a lifetime sentence, Kai vows that Terelle will never know a moment of peace, so long as she lives

Mary Monroe, bestselling author of God Don't Like Ugly

"If this book were any hotter, you'd have to wear oven mitts to hold it!"

Zane, New York Times bestselling author of Afterburn and Caramel Flava

Chanelle Lawson is tired of the sex industry and is ready to hang up her G-string, but not before she snags Mr. Right--someone who is not only handsome but rich enough to cater to her every material desire. When she finally meets the ideal "catch" she soon suspects that he has a dark side and the man of her dreams might be her worst nightmare.

After three years of marriage, Dayna Reynolds begins to feel the overwhelming urge to conceive a child. Getting pregnant, she believes will revitalize her failing marriage and justify her enormous weight gain. Conceiving a child, however, isn’t as easy as she’d thought. For one thing, her husband is hardly ever at home and when he is, sex certainly isn’t on the agenda. Feeling unattractive and unloved, a vulnerable Dayna easily succumbs to the advances of an enigmatic stranger.

Reed Reynolds is striving for success by hobnobbing with members of an elite society. His new associates would be shocked to learn of his secret life—a life so sordid it jeopardizes his marriage, financial stability, and any chance of a successful career. Reed is a sex addict and his addiction has spiraled way out of control. Fully aware that he should seek professional help, he continues to recklessly indulge his perverted sexual urges, until they escalate into an unspeakably sinister act that’s beyond reason…beyond belief.

Tariq is the kind-hearted "golden-boy" while Shane is dark and brooding, angry and deceitful. After being placed in foster homes together, Shane is sent to a reform school for boys when they become teenagers. When they're reunited, Shane is hardly reformed and now has two shady sidekicks, Brick and Misty. Tariq has an unconventional yet stable home life, complete with a wife and a child. Shane has no ambition and seems content to play the part of small-time gigolo and get by on the financial support of the women who flock to him. Still, despite their stark differences, the brothers remain close.

However, old habits die hard, and Shane is lured back out on the prowl. As he delves deeper into more infidelities and more danger, Shane relies on Tariq to supply his alibis and tests the limits of unconditional love.

Ambition, desperation, and redemption abound in this compelling debut novel about a woman forced to sink to the darkest depths of morality...and her quest to fight her way back.

Victoria Carlton invested everything into her dream of becoming a singer--her hopes, her time, her life savings--only to fall victim to the harsh realities of the recording industry. Devastated, broke, and unemployed, Victoria is propelled into action when an eviction notice forces her to choose between committing herself--and her young son--to a world of homeless shelters or entering the seedy world of prostitution. Desperate, she puts her ethics aside and applies for a job at Pandora's Box, a downtown Philadelphia brothel that bills itself as a "massage salon." Victoria's lifestyle quickly improves, and the gratification of instant cash replaces her willingness to find a low-paying, legitimate occupation.

One day an unlikely customer appears at Pandora's Box. Young, handsome, and well dressed, he is immediately drawn to Victoria. The two begin a love affair fraught with complications, leaving Victoria plagued by guilt and insecurities until a botched robbery and the murder of a coworker compel her to look beyond the fast money and reclaim her morals--and her life.

A steamy tale of the power of money, love, and desperation, Pandora's Box is an enthralling first novel from talented literary newcomer Allison Hobbs.
